27

"My son, now you know the truth." She says.

"I don't know what to do." I say.

"You must finish it." She says.

"I'm sorry?" I ask.

"Kill him. Finish your destiny." She says.

"Wasn't that just a destiny you forced on me?" I ask.

"It was both of our destiny's. Our kingdom was taken, and you will take it back." She says.

"Why? Does it even matter?" I turn.

She places her hand on my cheek.

"It matters to us. Do you not wish revenge for him killing you?" She asks.

"I stabbed him first." I point out. 

"And he took your throne. Come there is a gift I must give you." She says.

I turn. She starts walking. I follow her. She leads me down a dark twisty tunnel. It smells like blood down here. It smells like fire. I remember this tunnel. She hid me down here. I remember living life in a cave. I remember looking out in hatred. She lights something. A candle. I see the cradle. My cradle. It's a lot smaller than I remember. She opens something. I see armor. I see his armor. The dragon symbol. She takes out a sword. 

"Avenge us. Take back our thrown." She smiles.

I look down. I tried this once and he killed me. What makes you think I can survive this? Still...

"Okay. I'll do it, Mother." I take the sword.
